1978 Volkswagen ASI Riviera Campmobile

They are only original once!

***WILL SHIP WORLD WIDE***

This Bus started its life in Tacoma, Washington and was driven by the new owner to its home in Eagle River, Alaska.  
I am unsure how long it lived in Alaska but it did come to Texas in the 90's. The odometer reads 56XXX but I would assume it has rolled over. 

The VW has had only one repaint quite a few years ago. 
While it still looks good it will be ready for another to be brought back to factory new.

I have installed a new front tire cover, it also has 4 Kumho tires that are in excellent condition. 

No real body damage, just a few nicks and dings. Great looking Bus!

All Lenses are Factory Hella except the two rear side marker.

All glass in good condition and in working order. It does need a windshield, more on that later.

2.0 Liter with dual Weber Carbs. All heating components are present and I have replaced 
engine to body seal for proper cooling. 

I also installed a new battery and starter within the last month.

The carpet is in great condition and all the original cabinets and appliances are present as are 
all the foldout tables. 

The Bus also has all of its original curtains.

Sink has two faucets, one needs an electric pump the other is in working condition that hooks to water hook ups.

The original stove and fridge are included but I have not tested them.

The rear bed still retains the original fabric. There are a couple of spots that need attention but I would prefer worn original over perfect un-original.

Dome lights are in working order!

The canvas top is in great condition (could use a little cleaning).
The fiberglass top is in great condition as well.

Lets talk about windshields and rust. I have not replaced the windshield because it would be a good time to repair the rust around the windshield. It has not rusted through anywhere. What I would offer is, I will replace the windshield before it is picked up if the winning bidder is going to wait to have the bus painted. But if you would like to have it replaced after you have the bus painted I will deduct $225.00 off of the winning bid to cover the cost of a new windshield. Your choice.

Rust, they all seem to have it somewhere.  The worst rust on the bus is on the roof (see pic below). I know it is ugly but you can not see it if the top is down and if you are going to have it painted this is an easy fix. Way better than floor problems. Like I said earlier the floors are in excellent condition!

Door panels are in good condition.

Seats are in great condition!

The dash has no cracks! 

The floor mat is in great condition. 

All seats have seat belts including the rear seats.

Headliner is in excellent condition!

The bed up top is in excellent condition!  Ready to go camping!

Folders of receipts and hand written notes! Including the original owners manual, dealer pouch, warranty & maintenance manual with owner ID plate. (pic below) Cool stuff!

Awesome bus ready to go camping. Runs and drives good and is ready for a new owner.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.

2023 CES Editors' Picks

Mon, Jan 9 2023

Over the past few years, it has become more and more clear that the Consumer Electronics Show is a car show. And this year that reality is more clear than ever. Not only did established automakers show off seriously important vehicles, but a traditional electronics company brought a car that gives an idea of its intents (with the help of establishment car company). With so many car reveals, we had to rank our favorites. Our picks for this show are entirely electric. Or at least, they are on paper, since many are concepts. Considering the name of the show, it would be a little strange if they weren't. In fact, not only are many of our favorites concepts, they all are save for one. See how they shook out below. VW ID7 camo View 28 Photos 5. Volkswagen ID.7 "The ID.7 definitely got lost in the crowd at CES. That it was camouflaged definitely didn't help, even if that camo was electroluminescent (BMW trumped it big time with its color-changing Dee). Nevertheless, this is a close-to-production hatchback-ed sedan, not unlike today's Arteon, with an extra-long wheelbase courtesy its EV architecture. It should be a solid answer to the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6, and even if people obviously prefer SUVs now, VW says there is still a market for sedans. I know I'd probably prefer one." –Senior Editor, West Coast and Reviews, James Riswick Peugeot Inception concept View 12 Photos 4. Peugeot Inception "It's not often that show debuts surprise us. While Peugeot teased the Inception ahead of CES, its unveiling seemed almost incidental. But just look at this thing; it's like an electric French Mustang with someplace important to be. I don't buy into the stupid 'It's not a wheel!' thing that Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson described as providing a video-game-like drive experience, but that bit of silliness aside, this is a really promising design study. Give us more of these and fewer tall boxes, please." –Associate Editor Byron Hurd Afeela prototype from Sony Honda Mobility View 11 Photos 3. Afeela by Sony Honda “Ever since Sony showed off an impressively put-together concept car at CES a few years ago, IÂ’ve been anticipating the companyÂ’s next move. Apparently, that next move is “Afeela.” No, I donÂ’t love the name. The specs from SonyÂ’s original concept car give me hope that this prototype sportback (itÂ’s a hatchback!) will be fun to drive, though.
